To aZZ whont it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARY E. Brnnmnn, of Santa Barbara, in the county of Santa Barbara and State of California, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stoves, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming a part thereof, in which Figure 1 is a front elevation, partly in section, of my improved stove. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section taken on line a: w in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view, partly in see tion, and Figs. 4 and 5 are detail views.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the differentfigures of the drawings.

The object of my invention is to construct a stove which may be placed in an arch in a partition of a building and arranged to heat two rooms.

My invention consists in a stove-body having an arched top and double walls at the sides and top thereof, and provided with a grate for containing the burning fuel, and with suitable doors and dampers at one side for introducing fuel, removing ashes, and reg ulating the draft.

The body A of the stove is preferably made rectangular in form, with an arched top, 13, flattened to receive the short section of stove pipe 0, by which the stove-body is connected with the flue D. The side and top walls are made double, inelosing the ainspaces a, for the protection of the partition in which the stove is received. The air-spaces a are provided with damper'openings b, near their lower ends, and with openings 0, discharging into the stovetop near the flue-opening.

The stove-back E is offset to increase the space in the interior of the stove, and is closed tightly, so that neither ashes, smoke, nor gas can escape from that side of the stove.

The front of the stove is provided with two pairs of doors, F G, which are hinged to the front of the stove near opposite sides. The doors Gr close upon a cross-bar, d, extending across the front of the stove, and inclose the space occupied by the fire and the grate, and the upper doors, F, close the combustionchamber. Below the line of the bar (I is formed an ash-pit, e, for receiving the ashes and cinders from the fire, and above the ash pit are supported two bars, f, whose ends we tend downwardly at right angles and are received in sockets 9, formed on opposite sides of the stove-body; When the stove contains a wood fire, the wood rests upon the bars f, and when coal is employed for fuel the basketgrate H is supported by the bars f, for containing the burning fuel. The bars f are apertured at n, to receive the lower ends of upright hooks or braces m, and a short slot, 0, extends outward from the aperture a. The braces m are preferably flat and ornamental in design, having rounded lower ends to enter the apertures a, and slotted on opposite sides at p to engage the slots 0. By entering the lower ends of the braces in the apertures n, and moving them forward so that the slots 1) engage the sides of the slots 0, the braces will be held in position and will hold the grate in place.

The ash-pit c is extended beyond the front of the stove and provided with the removable apertured plate It, having the damper z, for closing its aperture. The bottom of the stove is to be placed on a brick foundation, and the front of the ash-pit e is preferably made hollow for containing air to prevent it from becoming overheated. A casing, I, similar in form to the projecting portion of the ash-pit e, is fitted to the back of the stove to improveits appearance and to serve as a foot-rest.

The stove is designed to be placed in an arch, J, formed in a partition between two rooms, the flue D being arranged in the partition for carrying away the products of combustion. In the flue D is placed the short length C ot stove-pipe provided with a crossbar, j, by which it may be moved up and down in the flue. The flattened top of the stove body is provided with a groove, k, surrounding the smoke discharge opening Z, for receiving the lower edge of the pipe-section C when the stove is in place in the partition. The pipe-section O is pushed up in the flue by means of the cross-barj, and when the stove is in its place,witl1 the smoke-discharge opening Z coinciding with the flue, the pipe-section is pulled into a groove in the top of the stove by reaching upward through the stove and grasping the cross-bar j.

Air admitted through the damper b prevents the heating of the partition-wall. The

fire in the stove-body is controlled by the damper i when the doors F G are closed, and it may be further controlled by opening or closing the said doors. The doors F G are provided with knobs m, for convenience in.

' municating with the air-spaces, the barsf, re-

ceived in sockets g in the front and back of the stove, the ash-pit e, damper z, and the doors FG, closing the front of the s'tove,al1 combined and arranged substantially as herein shown. and described.

1 2. The combinatiomwith the stove-body A, provided with a groove, is, around the smokedischarge opening I, of the pipe-section 0, adapted to be received in the groove 70, and having the cross-bar j, substantially as described.

3. The combinationmith the stove-body A, provided with front and back heating-surfaces and side air-passages, as described, of the removable bars f and the basket-grate H, substantially as herein shown and described.

4. The combination, with the bars f, provided with the key-hole slot n 0, of the upright braces m, having their lower ends notched at 19, substantially as described, whereby provision is rnade for holding the grate in position on the said bars, as set forth.
